    Well fancy that. There is a late change to the Antrim team with Kieran McGourty replacing his brother CJ in the Saffron attack. That looks like a major blow to the Saffrons's scoring potential. No Fermanagh changes....so far at least.

    BBC Sport NI presenter Austin O'Callaghan interviews Femanagh manager Peter McGrath

    "If it doesn't send a tingle down your spine, there's something wrong," says Peter McGrath to BBC Radio Ulster's Austin O'Callaghan ahead of the throw-in.

    Every team announced before a Championship game comes with a health warning, but if Fermanagh's selection is to be believed, they will be without skipper Eoin Donnelly because of a thumb injury.

    Chris Snow starts in goal in place of Thomas Treacy with James McMahon preferred to Tiarnan Daly in defence.

    Antrim boss Frank Fitzsimons hands a championship debut to St Gall's defender Conor Burke while key forward CJ McGourty is passed fit to start in the attack after being bothered by a hip problem.

    Don't be surprised if I am back to you shortly with a team tweak or two.

    Fermanagh: C Snow, M Jones, N Cassidy, M O'Brien, D McCusker, R McCluskey, J McMahon, R Jones, R O'Callaghan, B Mulrone, C Flaherty, P McCusker, T Corrigan, S Quigley, R Corrigan.

    Antrim: C Kerr; R Johnston, S McVeigh, C Burke; J Crozier, T Scullion, N Delargy; C Murray, M Sweeney; J Laverty, O Gallagher, P McBride; CJ McGourty, M Pollock, R Murray.

    Welcome to our live coverage of the second quarter-final in the Ulster Football Championship between Fermanagh and Antrim at Brewster Park.

    The counties met at the corresponding stage in Enniskillen 12 months ago when the Saffrons edged a surprise but deserved 2-18 to 3-13 victory.

    But Fermanagh, again managed by former Down All-Ireland winning boss Peter McGrath, are even stronger favourites today after securing promotion to Division 2 of the Football League as the Saffrons failed to get out of Division 4.

    Fermanagh are the only Ulster county who have never won the Anglo-Celt Cup while the last of Antrim's nine triumphs came back in 1951.

    Sunday's winners will face Monaghan in the opening Ulster semi-final on 21 June.
